  • AMMONIA MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND AMMONIA MANUFACTURING METHOD
    Publication number: 20240092646
    Abstract: An ammonia manufacturing apparatus includes: an ammonia synthesis unit synthesizing ammonia under a chemical reaction using hydrogen and nitrogen as a raw material gas in a reactor; and a heat storage unit including a heating medium. The heat storage unit can supply heat from the heating medium to the ammonia synthesis unit when an amount of the raw material gas supplied to the ammonia synthesis unit increases.

  • Plant control method, plant control device, program, and plant
    Patent number: 11578416
    Abstract: The plant control method includes the following. Calculating a first reference amount to be supplied for an amount of hydrogen to be supplied to a second production device (40). Making a decision on whether or not the amount of remaining hydrogen in a storage device (20) at the beginning of a subject term falls within a reference range.
    Type: Grant

  • Ammonia manufacturing apparatus and ammonia manufacturing method
    Patent number: 11370668
    Abstract: Included are: a raw material component storage unit that stores the raw material component supplied to the ammonia synthesis unit; a high-pressure raw material component storage unit that stores the raw material component at a pressure higher than a pressure at which the raw material component is stored in the raw material component storage unit; and a surplus electric power processing unit including a high-pressure raw material component transfer unit that boosts and transfers the raw material component from the raw material component storage unit to the high-pressure raw material component storage unit, and an expander that converts pressure energy of the raw material component supplied from the high-pressure raw material component storage unit into motive power to generate power.
